"Denny Moyer used superior boxing skill and an effective left jab Tuesday night to punch out a unanimous decision over hometown hero Stan Harrington and retained his world junior middleweight championship. There were no knockdowns in the 15 round bout watched by a near capacity crowd of 5,085 at Pacific Auditorium. But Moyer earned the nod by coming back strongly in the late rounds after a slow start. Harrington used a sharp left uppercut to dominate the action and pile up the points in the early stanzas. But the tide slowly turned after the 7th round when Harrington tired visibly and Moyer's steady jabbing found its mark." -United Press International
